POLICE: Stunt drivers, youth arrested

Brockville police charged 20 people over the long weekend in a traffic blitz known as Operation Impact.

From October 5 to 8, members of the Brockville Police Service targeted impaired driving, seatbelt violations, aggressive driving and distracted driving, the main causes of collisions and deaths on Canada’s roads.

But the bad driving did not end with the campaign.

On Tuesday, officers laid two charges of stunt driving after an officer stopped two motorists, said police. Their vehicles have been impounded and the drivers, aged 57 and 42, have both been served with a summons to appear in court to answer to the charge.

The same officer later observed a 29-year-old woman operating a black Ford

Explorer on Perth Street. The woman, who is known to the officer, was driving the vehicle without a licence, said police.

She was stopped and ticketed for that offence.

Breach of conditions

Brockville police on Tuesday charged a 19-year-old woman after she was allegedly observed leaving an address that she was prohibited from attending.

The woman had previously been charged with obstructing an officer by providing a false name and was released on conditions not to attend an address on Delhi Street.

The accused was arrested and held in custody pending a bail hearing.

Domestic assault

A 58-year-old man faces an assault charge after what Brockville police described as a domestic incident on Tuesday.

Officers responded to the incident in the city’s north end and arrested the man following an investigation.
